Staff Assist Program

The Best of Both Worlds: In-Center Care at Home

Home hemodialysis treatments can be performed by a Fresenius Medical Care trained caregiver in the comfort of your home, providing the “hands-on” dialysis treatment you need during regularly scheduled visits to your home.

Fresenius specialists will work with your private insurance provider to qualify your eligibility for this program. Private pay arrangements are also an option.

You will receive the same high standard of quality as in Fresenius dialysis facilities, but in the comfort of your home.
